Videocon d2h Chooses
Broadcom to Deliver HD
Satellite Service to Growing
India
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a
global innovation leader in semiconductor
solutions for wired and wireless
communications, today announced that
Videocon d2h, India’s fastest growing direct-
to-home (DTH) satellite service provider, has
selected Broadcom’s highly integrated satellite
set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC)
device to power their latest high definition
(HD) universal serial bus (USB) digital video
recorder (DVR). Broadcom’s BCM7358 HD
satellite STB SoC enables Videocon d2h to
accelerate deployment of HD satellite STBs to
subscribers throughout the region while
reducing design complexity, size and overall
system cost. For more news, visit
Broadcom’s Newsroom.
Designed to address consumer demand for
pay-TV programming, Videocon d2h’s HD USB
DVR is capable of recording content on a USB
storage device and offers enhanced digital
picture quality with optimum 1080p
resolution. The Videocon d2h HD USB DVR is
powered by Broadcom’s BCM7358 single-
channel 1080p HD advanced video coding
(AVC) satellite receiver chip, featuring a high
performance CPU and graphics engine, Digital
Living Network Alliance (DLNAÂ[REGISTERED SIGN]) connectivity
support and advanced security functionality.Â
According to IHS, STB industry revenue will
reach a record $22.8 billion in 2015, driven
largely by growth in emerging markets and
subscriber demand for HD content1. “As pay-
TV operators move to accommodate changes in
delivery platforms and formats, including the
adoption of HD, STB shipments will continue to
rise, hitting record levels for the next few
years,” said Daniel Simmons, IHS Technology
Director for Connected Home research.
“Technology-based service differentiation is
becoming increasingly important for pay-TV
operators in emerging regions, as these
markets begin to mature and saturate.
Transitioning subscribers from SD to HD at
minimal cost will be critical for driving further
pay-TV growth in emerging markets.”
“The silicon innovation that Broadcom
provides has been a key factor in our
continued success in delivering rich content to
our growing subscriber base,” said Anil Khera,
Videocon d2h CEO. “We’re leveraging a variety
of Broadcom STB silicon throughout our
portfolio and plan to extend our manufacturing
capabilities to meet the needs of other cable
operators in the region.”
“The Indian television market is undergoing a
major transition, and operators such as
Videocon d2h are leading the charge in
dramatically improving the quality and variety
of content delivery,” said Rajiv Kapur,
Broadcom India Senior Director of Business
Development. “As an established leader in STB
silicon innovation around the world, Broadcom
is delivering the technology required for a
growing number of consumers to enjoy more
sophisticated features such as HD-quality
content, digital video recording and on-
demand services.”
Videocon d2h is India’s fastest growing DTH
service provider, offering 500 channels and
services. Videocon d2h also has 27 Asli HD and
239 regional channels and services on its
platform. Videocon d2h for the first time in
